Built in 1857, the Haughwout Building in SoHo stands as one of New York’s finest examples of cast-iron architecture. The building once housed Eder V. Haughwout & Co., a prestigious tableware and glassware store, and it is renowned for hosting the world’s first successful passenger elevator installed by Elisha Otis. Today, its stunning two-story cast-iron façade, designed by John P. Gaynor, remains well-preserved. Strategically located at the corner of Broadway and Broome Street, it’s surrounded by trendy boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. While you can’t typically tour the interiors, the façade alone is worth a visit for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts.
